The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge

We know. The royal wedding just happened. And it was beautiful.

You would think that WB would be all over it.

Unfortunately, the WB staff has been overwhelmed with (annoying) academic obligations, but we should be back in the full swing of things in a few weeks - just in time for wedding season!

As for Wills and Kate? Be sure to check in next week for full royal coverage!

Yeah, we'll be late in the game. But where else can you find an honest critique by true hat enthusiasts?

Royal Family Jewels

Wow.

Apparently the slogan is : "Like a royal wedding, intercourse with a loved one is an unforgettable occasion."

Seriously. That's not even made up.

As I was thinking about all the things I absolutely loathe about this picture, I realized that what I hated most were the things that we, at WB, complain about all the time.

Instead of being super repetitive we're gonna leave this one to you, dear readers.

What are the TOP 4 (believe me, there are more) things that we DISLIKE about this wedding party?

What are the TOP 2 (there are barely 2) things that we LIKE (well, find acceptable given what we're working with) about this wedding party?

For those loyal WB fans out there (youknowwhoyouare), this will easy.

Don't be shy and leave your answers in the comments below. As always, click on the picture for the larger version.

(Obviously, you don't have to give all 6 answers. We'll take anything!)

Don't forget to check back on Monday, December 27th 2010 for the answers!

So, READY...

SET...

JUDGE!!!

And from all of us at WB: Happy Holidays!

xox

UPDATE:

So. Even though only one devoted and loyal reader shared her answers with us (Thanks Val-Z!! You did a such a great job!!), we know that the rest of you were just waiting for the right moment to show your cards (right?? riiiight).

And now...the moment you've all been waiting for...the RESULTS!

DISLIKE:

1. matchy-matchy hell

2. inclusion of a junior freakin' bridesmaid

3. fur. fur shawls. fur/mexican poncho hybrid on the JFB.

4. tacky bouquets (flower/color/composition)

LIKE:

1. MOH in her purple dress (safe and maybe a little boring, but I'll take it)

2. flower girl's flowered headpiece (ouf. adorbs)

Thanks for playing!

Marchesa, Marchesa, Marchesa

Remember when Nicole Richie was all trashy and tacky on The Simple Life and was only viewed, at best, as Paris Hilton's (hilarious) sidekick?

Those days are gone.

Somewhere between then and now Nicole Richie became scary skinny, hung out with Rachel Zoe, became super boho chic trendy, dumped Zoe, stopped being scary skinny, hooked up with Joel Madden, had two babies, built a fashion empire, became an "author" and really emerged as the star of her BFF's reality show. Meanwhile, Paris is mainly known for stuff like this.

Nicole and Joel got married over the weekend and, I must admit, she looked stunning. Apparently, the wedding took place in the backyard of Lionel Richie's Hollywood hills home, which was transformed to look like a french garden with tents and flowers galore. Daddy Richie also surprised the bride with an actual ELEPHANT - apparently, she's wanted an elephant at her wedding (for good luck) since she was a little girl. Well, now I'm just jealous.

The bride wore not one, not two but THREE Marchesa gowns throughout the evening. I don't know about her other two dresses, but the one in the photo they released is stunning. I'm obsessed with the skirt. Of course all that tulle may not compliment everyone, but Nicole (and her itty-bitty frame) definitely pulls it off. I also love the lace bodice. The combination of the the long sleeves and high neck, paired with a classic chignon and minimal jewelry is perfect (has someone been reading WB?). The dress feels vintage and feminine, which makes it 100% Nicole Richie.

Rumor has it that Paris was not invited to the wedding. Scandalous.

Better to be Sari Than Safe

There's a reason why saris never made it to the west. Let's face it: white women tend to drown in them or come off as entirely unmemorable against their bright, overpowering colours. That's why white women cringe - but only superficially - when their white daughters marry brown sons and insist on carrying out his traditional marital customs.

Mom, will you dress the part?

I feel your pain, white mothers. I do.

This woman, however, not only dons the sari, she rocks it.


I take it back. She OWNS it.


Choosing a conservative palette and pattern that work for her and pairing them with bold, chunky jewelry, she sees her daughter's "will you dress the part?" and raises it an "I will stun the masses."

Well-played, MOB. You're the inspiration.

Re-post: Puppy Love

Don't think I haven't thought about it.

I mean, it makes a lot of sense: she's there for me when I need her emotionally, she looks after the house for me while I'm gone (when she's not wrecking the house while I'm gone), and perhaps most important (let's be honest), she's a pretty face and a warm body to come home to and to sleep beside after an annoying day of dealing with (shudder) humans. Why *wouldn't* I marry Eska?

This man felt a similar way about his dog, Honey. They tied the knot yesterday in Toowoomba (oh, and woo her, too, he did!) at a lovely ceremony attended by 30 of their family members and closest friends, human and canine.

Congratulations to the lucky couple! Seriously. I mean, let's not mince words: Honey is no spring chicken. At 5 (that's, like, 33 in dog years), she isn't getting any younger, and Guiso did well to capitalise on her maturity. Those hips won't always be so functional.

Wedding: 3D

The Internets are blazing with news that Prince William and Kate's upcoming royal nuptials may be broadcast in 3D.

You know, so everyone can feel like they're right there...or something.

Hmmmmm.

While I think that it's kind of amazing, and will probably go out and pick up a pair of 3D glasses the minute this news is confirmed, I can't help but ask: is this really necessary?

And although that may be a stupid question to ask since we are talking about THE royal wedding, I just find it...odd.

What do you guys think?

Trashy?

Crazy?

Amazing?
